A Very Small Conspiracy in the Sky
This seagull silhouette appeared inside a triangle of sky as if the island had opened a secret door just for him. He is not flying; he is standing there, perfectly placed, with the kind of calm that makes an ordinary bird look like it has been briefed. The dark roofline, the bright opening and that one pale shape in the middle are far too organised to leave my imagination alone.
The Gull Was Clearly in on It
I briefly considered turning the photograph into a stronger silhouette. It might have looked more dramatic, but the original light is already doing something better: it leaves the gull readable while the rest of the frame disappears into a secret. Then I connected the triangle and the seagull to the Illuminati, because apparently I am incapable of seeing a triangle without inventing a conspiracy. Bravo, me.
The seagull silhouette does not need to reveal anything. It only needs to stand there and let the joke grow around it. Somewhere in the distance, someone dear may be coming from the islands; here, the gull has arrived first, claimed the triangle and appointed itself guardian of the sky. 😂
